You do not possess the Triforce, and therefore stand no chance.

Take off with the other self's clothes. That'll show him.
... Nah.

> Attempt to discern what he is saying. Also, take the turtle off of his head and place it upon your turtle. BALANCE +1!!!
You take the other turtle from your other self. He turns around, and upon seeing you his eyes widen.

"...No... NO," he begins screaming, staring at you. The other turtle in your hand wriggles her feet equally frantically. She wriggles so much that she falls from your hands. The other you launches himself to catch her, but misses. The turtle falls beyond where you thought the floor was. She quickly becomes a dot beyond your periphery. Your turtle hangs on tighter.

"NOOOOOO," the other you screams, bashing his fist into the ground. He makes a small crack in the void. He continues pounding the ground, enlarging the rips. Suddenly, the rips burst! You are sucked in rather quickly.

You are in a dark place. You feel as though the turtle is staring at the darkness.

Why is it always my suggestions that progress the story in the strangest ways?
Or maybe this is just a very strange story.
In either case, I like it ;D

I'd like to remind everyone that half of the time I don't even know what I'm talking about. The other half of the time I only sort of know what I'm talking about.

I don't think that'll work.

The turtle is still on your head.

You think about what happened a little bit ago. You're still not sure. You think you may have just killed your turtle. Maybe? It's really confusing.

You feel around in the darkness. You feel something next to you. You're pretty sure it's a web-covered skeleton. You kinda wish for light.

You find something on the ground. It feels like a lighter!

NO, GOD NO DON'T LIGHT THE LIGHTER! SOMETHING BAD ALWAYS HAPPENS WHEN SUDDENLY ILLUMINATING A PERFECTLY DARK SPACE! HAVEN'T YOU WATCHED THE MOVIES, MAN?!

> Light the lighter carefully


I support Taco Dan's suggestion.

Remove turtle from head, light hair/head on fire. Run around like maniac and bash anything in the dark with said flaming head.

Since it is dark, we are likely to be eaten by a grue.

No.

No.

The thought-provoking subject does not light make.

>taste the darkness
It tastes dark.

Since it is dark, we are likely to be eaten by a grue.
Get lighter

Luckily, you are not cursed.

You take the lighter and flick it a few times. A tiny flame flickers to life. It's not at all helpful to see anything far away, but you suddenly see another flame right in front of you. It seems to be following your movement.

You feel as though the turtle is staring at the flame.
